This paper introduces a novel software package for the simulation of various types of range scanners. The goal is to provide researchers in the elds of obstacle detection, range data segmentation, obstacle tracking or surface reconstruction with a versatile and powerful software package that is easy to use and allows to focus on algorithmic improvements rather than on building the software fram...

Astronomical data take on a multitude of forms – catalogs, data cubes, images, and simulations. The availability of software for rendering high-quality three-dimensional graphics lends itself to the paradigm of exploring the incredible parameter space afforded by the astronomical sciences. The software program Blender gives astronomers a useful tool for displaying data in a manner used by three...

HEVA is a 3D animated character developed with Blender that evaluates the knowledge of a user in a particular subject using an adaptive test. The avatar was built with the Game Engine of Blender 2.25 and Python. Our adaptive test is based on XML as data manager and CLIPS as inference engine. Both are connected with a new library in Python that we had to develop for this purpose. Some characteri...

In this paper, we first demonstrate that the newly introduced Android RunTime (ART) in latest Android versions (Android 5.0 or above) exposes a new attack surface, namely, the “return-to-art” (ret2art) attack. Unlike traditional return-to-library attacks, the ret2art attack abuses Android framework APIs (e.g., the API to send SMS) as payloads to conveniently perform malicious operations. This n...

The relative efficiency of the Waring blender, the Stomacher 400, and the Stomacher 3500 for preparing food samples for microbiological analysis was studied. Comparative aerobic plate count (APC) values were determined on 671 samples, representing 30 categories of foods. Of the 26 categories of nonfatty foods, the blender gave significantly higher geometric mean APC values than those given by t...
